Is our church reflecting the culture or shaping it?

In preparing for Sunday's message, I just read a tremendous article entitled, "What is the Missional Life?" Good stuff!

"Whether your church is in Dallas, Texas or Sydney, Australia, Philly or New York, La Paz or Orlando, God has strategically placed you and the members of your church in that place. He has radically converted you and called you to be missionaries. Why? Because he wants his kingdom to be revealed, he wants the lost to be saved. And your church gets to play a part in it. What a mission!"

If you're reading this before Sunday (3/18), please pray for me as I finish studying and preparing for Sunday's message – thank you! We're going to be talking about how to get the "insiders" out in order to get the "outsiders" in!
